Kameron “Kam” Jones, a rookie guard for the Indiana Pacers, found himself in legal trouble after being arrested for allegedly driving recklessly and leading police on a pursuit along I-65.

Jones, who joined the NBA as a second-round pick in the 2025 Draft, was taken into custody at the Marion County Jail on Monday morning. He faces preliminary charges of misdemeanor reckless driving and felony resisting arrest.

Indiana State Police reported that a trooper attempted to stop a car around 10 a.m. after noticing it was being driven erratically on Interstate 65. The attempt to pull over the vehicle sparked a chase commencing near the I-65 North Split and concluding at the Fletcher Avenue exit, where the driver was identified as Jones.

According to online jail records, Jones remains in the Marion County Adult Processing Center without a set bond as of 1 p.m.

The 23-year-old out of Marquette was selected 38th overall by the Spurs in June before being traded to Indiana. The Pacers signed Jones to a four-year contract in early July, but he has yet to make his NBA debut while dealing with a reported back injury.

The Pacers acknowledged Jones’ arrest in a statement sent Monday afternoon to FOX59/CBS4:

“We are aware of the situation involving Kam Jones. We are in the process of gathering additional information and will not have any additional comment on the matter at this time.”

If convicted of resisting law enforcement, a level 6 felony, Jones could be sentenced to up to 2.5 years in jail and fined up to $10,000.
